The term phenotype means what you see. Like black eyes or brown eyes or blue eyes. The same is for hair color. This is different from genotype which means what is in the genes or what genes are not expressed. A person with brown eyes can carry a gene for blue eyes. This is the genotype.

Each person carries genes that are expressed or what are seen and also genes that are not expressed and are not seen.
